Diamond over Apex (physically in Cary), NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On November 8, 2018, at approximately 7:30pm, we were walking our dogs down our street and saw a very large (larger than our house), squished-diamond shaped, black aircraft, with red and green non-flashing lights, moving extremely slowly from left to right. It was just over the tree tops, but lower than the top of the radio tower, that was to its left. It slowed almost to a stop and turned to its left and went below the tree line. There was no obvious aircraft engine noise, but had a low hum to it. I was waiting to hear a crash and an explosion, but it never happened. My friend, who is a pilot, was with me. He said he had never seen anything like it. Our neighbor said she also saw it, but did not know what it was. What was remarkable was how large, quiet and slow moving it was.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143713). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
